Autonomous Robots may prove useful in the industry and may help replace people in hazardous, risky, and inhumane occupations. An autonomous mobile robot can carry out a variety of functions in search and rescue operations, monitoring, relief efforts, extra-terrestrial investigation, transport, warehousing etc. Thus, an intelligent mobile robot that is capable of navigating a variety of situations, both static and dynamic, may prove essential and instrumental in contemporary industrial applications. The objective of navigation is to find optimal or sub-optimal ways from a specified point A to another point B while avoiding as many obstacles as possible. Some experiments that evaluate navigation capabilities also examine how well a robot is able to track a well-defined trajectory and synchronize its steering wheel so as to enhance mobility and power usage. Mobile robot navigation may be achieved in numerous ways so that the developed device may have obstacle avoidance, path planning, steering wheel synchronization, and line tracking capabilities. Several studies shed light on this topic. However, a comprehensive review of all the existing strategies, approaches, and applications does not yet exist. This study's objective is to examine the published writings on mobile robots capable of path planning, trajectory tracking, and driving wheel synchronization and then highlight the most important and effective approaches which might assist future research in autonomous mobile robot navigation.
